What considerations do I need to take into account before planting a tree?
Some trees can grow very large eventually, in this instance it is important to consider the right position to plant the tree in relation to:
- Your neighbours on all sides
- Sewer lines
- Overhead powerlines
- Foundations of buildings
- Driveways
- Swimming pools
- Fences
- Future shading- particularly of your surrounding neighbours
- Sunlight access for solar panels
- Sightlines for you and your neighbours when driving out of your property
